First because will definitely give you split ends - even if you brush it after with tangle teezer. It doesn't matter how careful you are or how strong your hair is, it WILL break. Second the finished look is not always nice. Rarely are the times when the finished look is great. Besides the crazy amount of hair spray you inhale it's insane. You stay with hair spray taste in your month for hours.... So yeah, when I see hair stylists doing this to my hair I start to cry inside.

The following Prayer, written at The Queen's direction by the Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral for Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, was used in the Jubilee Thanksgiving Service at St Paul's Cathedral today. God of time and eternity, whose Son reigns as servant, not master; we give you thanks and praise that you have blessed this Nation, the Realms and Territories with ELIZABETH, our beloved and glorious Queen. In this year of Jubilee, grant her your gifts of love and joy and peace as she continues in faithful obedience to you, her Lord and God and in devoted service to her lands and peoples, and those of the Commonwealth, now and all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Beautiful to see Her Majesty glorifying the one and only Lord Jesus Christ!
I started watching when Shirley Bassey came on, so I had no idea that singers such as JLS and Cheryl Cole have performed. What were they doing there? Was it really necessary? That was a bit of a let down in my opinion, and from Her face expressions I'm pretty sure she didn't find it amusing. Were we celebrating Her 60 years as a Queen or was just to keep young generation entertained? Well, well... the cutest part was at the end, when Prince Charles personal tribute to The Queen and called her 'mummy.' I couldn't help but to be a little teary to see such affection between monarchs. It was clearly that Her Majesty was overwhelmed. Awwn. Now I understand why British people are so happy and proud of Her. She is a truly Queen. And is very unlikely that we will have another Queen like Her. One thing, that bother me the most was Cheryl Cole standing right behind the Queen at the final part. Every time the camera would show Her Majesty, Cole's smiley face would appear too. It looked like she purposely position herself to stay behind the Queen so she could be seen. What a contrast, a Queen next to a vain 'pop singer'.

As a journalist I know I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do, which is BLOGGING non stop. I realized that when my dear friend Claire text me the other day very excited about her blog. (Guys, please go and check it out! - you will love it.) Claire you've inspired me... So with that in mind, I thought: "Hey what about mine so called blog?" or "What am I doing to get my journalistic practices in action?" And because of that, I will give it another go. But this time around will be more personal entries and will try to document more of what I go through on daily basis. Hope you enjoy it! Lots of love G
